Alexander Volkanovski is set to showcase a brand-new pair of custom-designed fight shorts as he prepares for his upcoming championship bout.
This Saturday at UFC 314, Volkanovski will headline the event against Diego Lopes at the Kaseya Center in Miami, competing for the vacant featherweight title. This fight presents Volkanovski with an opportunity to become a two-time featherweight champion after Ilia Topuria vacated the belt to move up to the lightweight division.
For this highly anticipated main event, Volkanovski will be wearing specially made shorts, as seen in the image below.
Volkanovski now joins a distinguished group of UFC stars, including names like Israel Adesanya, Alex Pereira, Zhang Weili, Max Holloway, Leon Edwards, and Sean O’Malley, who have custom gear created for their major fights. Stepping into the octagon this Saturday will mark Volkanovski`s tenth consecutive appearance in a championship fight.
Having lost the featherweight title to Topuria at UFC 298 via knockout, the 36-year-old Volkanovski now has a chance to reclaim the belt, facing Lopes instead of Topuria in this title bid. Diego Lopes is known for his exciting fighting style and is currently on a five-fight winning streak since a narrow decision loss in his debut against Movsar Evloev in 2023.
